We're Doing a Great Job!

At least 18 people were shot -- three fatally -- on the streets of Chicago overnight and early Saturday morning. The violence occurred less than 24 hours after the Chicago Police Department announced a drop in murders and other crimes.

Talk about a bad sense of timing, eh? Of course, the south side reverends have a solution close at hand:

Religious leaders on the South Side are attempting to meet with gang leaders and figure out how to stop the violence. They are calling for a city wide gang summit, which is scheduled for next Sunday in Englewood.

We will offer a reward of ONE MILLIIIIIION DOLLARS for anyone who can figure out how to get a GBU-15, AGM-86C or similar device onto that city block on 30 April. As we are currently cash poor, the reward will be payable in monthly installments over the next 8,000 years.

Bobby Rush,Rev. Jackson,Rev. Jakes,Rev.Meeks,and "the hat" Tillman are all correct yesterday in asserting that Cline should resign.

So effective tomorrow MATT Cline will resign and all the killing and black-on-black crime will cease..I THINK ITS A GOOD IDEA!(Hell they're all to stupid to see that at that moment "they been tricked" as they say in-da-hood or "Punk'd" as white american teens would say!)

And The Superintendant would feel like GOD for sacraficeing his Son for the sins of the black gangbangers!

1 dead at 61st Karlov at 2 in the afternoon. What are the 8th District Tactical Teams doing, oh yea...Gang Narcotics Dispersals. Sorry not important enough it happened west of Pulaski. Quit kissing the ass of the alderman. Let them shoot it out at 66th Oakley, 57th Artesian..fuck em!!! The commanders are afraid of their own shadow.

SPEAKING OF THOSE AREA 2 GUN TEAM MUSCLEHEADS IN ANOTHER WEEK THEY'LL BE GOING ON THAT ALL EXPENSE PAID TRIP TO LAS VEGAS COURTESY OF PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS FEDERAL GRANT MONIES FOR THAT RIDICULOUS "HOW TO GET A GUN FROM UNDER THE SENIOR CITIZENS BEDPAN WITHOUT GETTING PISS ON YOUR HANDS" SEMINAR. AINT THAT A KICK IN THE ASS. MY TAX DOLLARS HARD AT WORK FOR THE NURSING HOME RAIDERS. AT LEAST CHICAGO SENIOR CITIZENS ARE SAFE FROM HAVING THEIR GUNS TAKEN FOR A WEEK.

How is it the 8th dist tact teams fault that someone got shot? Lets see there is about 4 cars manned in the district and the 8th dist is quite large. If they were mind readrers they could of set up a surveilance and caught the knuckleheads in the act. I think the above post is a tact wannabe.

If a South Side "Religious Leader" existed, they'd be calling for the communitty to work with the police to stop crime. These self appointed, race baiting, useless media hounds should be exposed for what they are...but the media will be sucked in to this bulls**t as usual. Giving some legitamacy to these criminals by calling a "gang summit" is exactly what allows the killing to go on and on.

GET SEISER AND THE AREA 2 GUN TEAM TO 008TH DISTRICT....OH WAIT AREA 2 GUN TEAM HAS BEEN ALREADY THERE AND GOT 300 GUNS OUT OF HOUSE THAT THE 008TH DISTRICT FELL FLAT ON THEIR FACE ON. JUST SEND SEISER.

well i bet all the cars got there movers on the seat belt mission during the shootings,relax i really dont care if 300 shitheads are killed in one night..i just love to see the pastors in the march yelling "STOP THE VIOLENCE" GOD I LOVE A PARADE....

If that's true 10:18, I would love to see Cline out here! He needs to roll up the shirt sleeves and start rolling heads. Instead of letting Meeks, Rush and company trying to control things so that THEY benefit.

The piece of shit gangbangers will murder you in cold blood and not give it another thought. Their religious leaders, and their cop-killing black panthers are all animals. Fuck them, and fuck the goddam religious leaders who know these thugs and condone what they do. After all, one of their thug black panthers rush is the same as the gangbanger that murders on the streets. I wish every one of them mother fuckers who was shot was killed! Fuck them!

Hey I'll take uncle Phill answering calls on 812's beat cause that pussy on 3rd watch just hides at 5800 S. Central. Now he is going to run and tell his auntie that people were making fun of him, what a pussy.

i came wondering into area 2 detective division this week and geeesh what mugs the female dics got on em. SCARED THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME. i read an earlier post on the most attractive f/dics in the city...and believe me area 2 got the worst of the bunch. i looked at one of those area 2 female dics and looked her right in the face and if i'll be damned she could have been an advertising poster for birth control. and there was another one that had eyes like that yoda from the star war movie. the one female detective that has got black hair looked like she wanted to bite MY dic off just for looking in her direction. honestly i'm straight up 100% male loving women kind of guy but this is an area that has got men looking better then women. i am not surprised the men detectives looked so sad its because no good looking women to brighten things up in the the area 2. I really think, and its only my opinion that they got them ugly female dics in their to SCARE the arrestees into confessing their crimes. as i walked out of area 2 detective division i could not help notice nose hair sticking out of a blonde wannabes nose. Geesh, gave me goosebumps. one thing though, they are being fed good too on the south side those female detectives. each one of em got a potbelly.

Holy F*ck, I was laughing my ass off rolling on the floor with that above post about the Area Two women dics....it is so true....don't get me wrong, I really don't go around making fun of people but the more i thought about what the writer was trying to convey.....I was laughing like crazy.....my partner up here agrees too. He is laughing his ass off too,.....oh those women are gonna hate you.

Fillmore ain't shit compared to the 80's and 90's when Rockwell Gardens was fully loaded to capacity with the worst of the worst savages in Chicago. But the Gardens are now gone. Yuppies now live on the East end as well as the middle of the district on Washington and Warren. Homan Square replaced some of the worst gang-infested blocks where they shot at the police at least twice a week, on average. Only a FNG with less than 5 years would think the place "rocks", because you've got nothing to compare it to. It's a friggin' dead zone compared to the old days when guys like Willie Bobo, Ray Ray Longstreet and Willie Lloyd ran it all. I mean, 011 still has it's moments, but it ain't even CLOSE to what it used to be. Just about every one of us who worked a beat car in 011 from the late 80's to mid 90's averaged 5 or 6 guns a period. I doubt that even the tact guys there are putting up numbers like that these days. So please, spare us the chest-thumping braggadocia about how tough it is in Fillmore. There are worse places to be these days... really.

One last thing... if you don't know who Stanley Nowinski is, you are NOT a Fillmore Ranger!!

Police are looking for dealers selling "good heroin" on the South and West sides. Due to a reduction in robberies and burglaries, these dealers are going to be given a " crime reduction" ribbon. Good Job !!! Property crime reduced 10 % and counting.

those in sos beware of rita crotty going over to you!! worked in 012 her whole career except for a stint on saturation when daddy got her out of loop traffic w/her class and onto days saturation in the summer a day off probation bumping guys w/5+ years from the spot, thinks that made her the "real police", got cr#'s on other po's in the district in the past, at a watch party made out w/ at least 5 guys from the watch at ira's, at an x-mas party was trying to flash her nasty titties in everyone's face (no one wanted to see them), thinks everyone wants her (i don't know one guy who does), tries getting in every guy's pants from the watch, and thinks her dad being a captain makes her special, basically an annoying idiot i'm glad i won't have to see at work anymore. heard her dad is a great guy, too bad his daughter isn't. so just a warning to y'all....

A gang summit? What the hell is wrong with the world when we legitimize so called "gang leaders" who stand for nothing but criminal activity?

Fuck "gang leaders!" Anyone who steps up as a so called leader of a gang should be shot. But that's an option that is not politically available.

If you are a gang member, what kind of retirement program is there? Do they get free medical insurance? How much a month do they get when....and if, they retire?

This is all bullshit, but no one will say so. Why? If a member of the mafia were to call a "truce" against another crew, the FBI would be on their asses like stink on shit. But the shithead gangs we have running rampant in the city are legitimized by calling for a truce?

This bullshit won't stop as long as you have assholes (meaning gangbangers) willing to shoot someone. Guns aren't the problem, the problem is asshole kids willing to shoot someone for bullshit. When will it stop?

It's not just a gang problem, the problem lies with the honest hard working members of our minority communities who sit by and are silent while thugs run the streets and shoot innocents with impunity. "Don't snitch" and other bullshit sayings are killing our young people.

Hard working people of color sit by and let gangbangers do their bullshit and say nothing. Bill Cosby is the only person of color who speaks the truth. And for talking truth he gets shit.

When will it end? When people realize that being a thug doesn't pay. When being a member of a criminal organization (gangs) doesn't help society. Will it ever come to pass that people will say enough and stop the bullshit? Who knows. And so it goes.....

To the guy talking about fillmore in the late 80's and 90's, relax, back then carrying a gun was a misdemeanor, everyone had one, you caught a guy with dope he said take me for this gun I got at my crib, no special skill in that; also, every district in area 4 was busy then, 012, 013, 010, they all rocked,not just 011. The regentrification is everywhere now and ALL those districts aren't anything compared to how they used to be especially 012 and 013. 011 is still a great district to learn this job, for noe anyway....

I was wandering around area2 detective division and I noticed this guy "wondering" around...it was hard not to notice him because he was grabbing his crotch area and rubbing ...like he had the crabs or something...also he was one of the wierdest looking guys I've ever seen...now I'm not one to talk about people but this guy looked...like a little gnome...he was about 5 feet tall and weighed maybe 100 lbs....with skinny little arms and big pimples all over his face....and he was balding....although he did have lots of hair growing out of his ears....I watched as he bumped into things....as he spun around stating ,"Where are the good looking female detectives....man you are all a bunch of dogs."....He then poceeded to pick his nose and scratch his balls at the same time....he then farted which cleared the room....and stumbled down the hall.....we are now requesting that the police department reinstate the height requirment for po's...these little guys are too much......

Question.....all these shootings, marches, gang problems, etc. are in Area One......Doesn't Area One have their own Saturation Teams, Gang Teams, Gun Teams, Dics?? Lay off Area Two for a while and handle your own business over there boys. Or are you guys too busy writing posts about Area Two to actually realize maybe you don't have a clue what you're doing over there?? Just asking...

as i predicted a few posts back, that this will be one hell of a summer, murders are going to eclipse all those that have come before, and with this bad herion showing up on the scene there's gonna be more murders before it's over, strap it down boys and girls and remember to wear your seatbelts...

This Fillmore Envy movement has me confused. There is no more Fillmore. You work in the Harrison District, a vastly different place than the "Filthmore" District of the 1960's and early 1970's. Imagine all of those empty lots full of buildings and hundreds of people handging on the stoops and street corners. The entire Fourth Area was like that at that time. You can't go back. If you weren't assigned to 4001 W. Fillmore, you missed it. Some have memories, some only repeat the stories.

Hey Kid, Ive worked at 943 W. Maxwell and im in my 40's. Justr shows you have no fucking time on this job, as it has only been the UIC station for about six years. Get some time on the job before you insult guys that have paid their dues.

Sweet Mother of God!"KID" I've been on this job toooooooooo long,943 W Maxwell was the old area 4 it was transferred to 3151 W.Harrison in the early 70's.Probably before "YOU" were born!I'm getting to old for this job!

Glad to see that some out here still remember Stan "The Man" Nowinski. Stanley was the only cop I ever know who wore cowboy boots with his uniform every day, and not one boss ever said a thing about it. Back in the day, when you took a ride down to the Ivory Tower at 11th & State, you brought Stan a cup of coffee... "extra black", the way he liked it. :-) Stanley's console had a huge wooden sign across the top that read "STAN'S WILD KINGDOM" and had a bunch of stuffed jungle animals all around it. His console also had about a dozen hanging monkeys (from the Barrel of Monkeys game) hanging down from each side.

Stan knew every inch of Fillmore, and always seemed to know where every shithead you were chasing on foot was running to before the guy even got there. I'll be damned if he wasn't right almost every time. Those were the days, man. Like one previous person said.... having Stan on Zone 10 was like having a 3rd guy on the car. I hope Stan is still alive and doing well. He was the best dispatcher to ever grace the CPD airwaves.

Right, 431, an old guy still going strong. Got a revolver, once assigned to H64. I didn't invent the job, just took my turn. I'll still change your diaper when you soil yourself. Want to trade some war stories?

UIC police are not Police. They are just security guards with guns that could never be The Police.

And for those of you that are reading this blog. When you come into our house with your bullshit arrest, and your sleeves rolled up (or the short sleeves when everyone else is wearing long sleeves), you have no idea how much we laugh at you. The best part is, when you walk in, with your chest out, and your Criminal Tresspass to State Land arrest (a bum that didn't/couldn't read the lettering on the door warning that non-students will be arrested), like you made a real arrest.

As someone related to a UIC police officer, I assure you that the UIC Police Are The Police.

They are sometime referred to as 12 and a half and are a great back-up.

By law they have the same powers as the sheriff in any county in which the University of Illinois has property. This will very at times as the university obtains and disposes of property. They take case reports, make investigations, and do search warrants off university property.

They will be marching in the St. Jude Parade, (last year shouldering Colt A-R 15s), I doubt that 2:56:41 will be there.He will be busy dissing fellow officers.

How is it the 8th dist tact teams fault that someone got shot? Lets see there is about 4 cars manned in the district and the 8th dist is quite large. If they were mind readrers they could of set up a surveilance and caught the knuckleheads in the act. I think the above post is a tact wannabe.

Not "blaming" the 8th District Tactical Team for anything. Blaming the bosses all around you guys for the bullshit they make you do in a day. Maybe they'll let you do the job you should now that homicide ocuured west of Pulaski...

Ya, Ya , Ya.

Nothing is ever as tough as it used to be. I remember hearing that in the Corps, too.

You can tell when an old-timer is talking about the good ol days when he talks down to the "new" people.

Times have changed old man, but there are still plenty of beasts running around acting the way they have since the dawn of time. Guess who takes care of these fucks? Yup, the "new" police. Even though there are cameras everywhere, the public and the media questions everything we do, there are lawsuits generated over every petty allegation, cowardly policemen, worthless bosses and politicians that will hang you out to dry, etc, etc..

Yo, I worked with Stan and he WAS the real deal. Love, love, love the cowboy boots reference.

But I digress. Ahhh for the days when the zone commander could smoke and drink through the night. When the only evidence of timeliness (or lack of timeliness) was on the time-stamped tickets. Amazing how much more BS goes out now that the evidence, er tickets, can't be "lost" by the bucket.

Next time you're getting your ass kicked and a UIC cop shows up to help, I hope you tell him he's not needed because he's not the real police. But then judging by your ridiculous coments, and the fact that you always seem to be in the station (since you're always in "your house"), you probably aren't getting in any fights...or doing any police work. Loser.

..."Amazing how much more BS goes out now that the evidence, er tickets, can't be "lost" by the bucket"...

I loved it when Stan would start to read out a job and realize it was complete nonsense halfway through it. The next thing you'd hear him say was... "Nevermind 1112, I'm gonna shitcan this one myself."

It's too bad that can't can't do that anymore. Just think of all the time we'd have to do REAL police work.

90% of call categories are known to be nonsense, and 95% of calls are. O.W. Wilson accepted it so he could keep coppers tied up (and moving) rather than taking bribes on traffic stops (or sleeping). And the Democrats just kept adding and adding and adding when they realized that it was up to them to provide the answer to all life's problems.

Than again, I've been called many, many names when I've suggested that EVERY uniform oughta be put on a full day foot patrol at least once a week. Away from calls and all that. Like you said, imagine the police work that a worker could do if not tied down to a radio.

Not that I'd trust 70 or 80% of the department (or any population) to do much if not held accountable.
